Question

A charge of 30. coulombs passes through a

24-ohm resistor in 6.0 seconds. What is the
current through the resistor?
(1) 1.3 A (3) 7.5 A
(2) 5.0 A (4) 4.0 A

Answer 1

Current is equal to charge/time, the resistance is irrelevant in this case,

I=30/6=5

Therefore the current through the resistor is 5 Amps.

Answer 2

1 coulomb per second = 1 "Ampere"

(30 coulombs) / (6 seconds) = 5 amperes .

It turns out that with the given information, you don't
need to know the resistance to answer this question..
